Found this site today while searching on the charges to my Visa card. I'm only up to page 6 in my reading but thought I'd share my experience.

- Victim's location: Yuma, Arizona

- Name of bank/type of card used: Citibank Visa

- # and amount of each charge
- Date of each fraudulent charge
- Name of company spelled exactly that the charge was made to:

(Last charge looks like a Citibank fee for the fradulent foriegn charges as the Visa card was canceled on 9 August 2007.)

- If any online shopping is done and what companies used if you can remember:

Card was often used for online shopping. Linked to Amazon.com and Paypal, but I think the number was stolen from my use of a live chat service on 2 August 2007, which turned out to be in the Netherlands.

- Any past history of ID theft (just yes or no): Yes


I'm about as bugged by the inconvience of having to get a fraud statement notarized and mailed to Citibank within five days of receiving the paper credit card statement. They just released the statement today, so hopefully I'll have it by Friday, the only free day I have to go to the bank.

There had been a balance transfer of approximately $800 that showed up online as an unbilled transaction but didn't show up in the statement. That may be where the $12 transaction fee came from.
